The Amazing Mary Jane 2 Cover Step by Step

  1. I have never seen someone using tape in this fashion to ink (maybe I don't get the interesting technique). Btw, just found this blog!!:D

    1. Rachel tapes the paper over sensitive parts of the pencils (faces, etc), and then since the paper is there, she rolls the ink off her brush or whatever, gets the point she wants - but nothing to do with technique. Cool, glad to have you here!
